My vision is a robust public square where history, literature, philosophy, and the other humanities disciplines are valued by all – but especially by our political leaders – both for themselves and for their ability to illuminate our common concerns and help us imagine a better world – a place where political disagreements are resolved through thoughtful reflection and reasoned discussion, where ideas are more important than ideology, where the complexity and nuance that characterize almost every aspect of human relations are understood and appreciated.
